A BUSINESSMAN is calling for urgent action to be taken after his wall was knocked down–for a sixth time.

Barry Robson owns premises in Brynford Street, Holywell, which are currently occupied by Sweeney Ted’s Barbers.

The 65-year-old who lives in Babell told the Chronicle ‘enough is enough’.

He believes heavy good vehicles are responsible for the damage and says this latest incident could costs hundreds of pounds to repair.

He said: “I am sick to death of lorries breaking down this wall and heavy goods drivers ignoring the signs which state that there is no access for such trucks coming up Brynford Street.”

Mr Robson added: “It gets hit two or three times a week and although it doesn’t always pull it down it does cause damage and it’s very annoying.”

The latest incident happened at about 7.30am on November 19 and Mr Robson wants anyone with information to contact North Wales Police, who are investigating.

He added: “There was rubble all over the road, it could have caused a terrible accident. This is the worst damage yet.

“It has been cleared so there is access to the shop and it’s important that people know the barbers is open for business.”

Mr Robson is calling on Flintshire County Council to divert heavy goods vehicles away from the town centre.

He added: “The main problem is that the road signs are much too small and attention needs urgently to be given by Flintshire County Council to re-routing these monster trucks away from Holywell town centre.”

Neal Cockerton, head of assets and transportation at Flintshire County Council, said: “We will review signing in and around the town centre to see if this can be improved, but we’re very restricted in terms of available space.

“It is worth noting that the upper part of Brynford Street is subject to a 7.5T weight limit (with an access exemption). We have erected heavy goods vehicle route signing to take traffic around the restricted section via Halkyn Street, but if any drivers transgress it is a matter for the police.”
